Life After Leaving

Life After Leaving is a confidential, trauma-informed 1:1 coaching programme for working women aged 25+ who have left an abusive or unhealthy relationship. Women may or may not have children.  

They currently have funded places available until March 2027, offering up to 12 coaching sessions per person and is delivered by their Healthy Relationships lead, who is a qualified coach with IDVA background, training and experience.  

The programme has been developed because they recognised that there are women who don’t necessarily need counselling, but still need someone alongside them to help make sense of what has happened, rebuild their confidence and work out what comes next.

They are particularly keen to reach community-facing professionals and women working in health, education, caring, support and other public-facing roles. We know that for women in these professions, accessing support can sometimes feel particularly difficult. Concerns around privacy, confidentiality, professional reputation or being recognised within their own community can mean that they don’t seek help at all.

Through 1:1 coaching, women have a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to focus on themselves and their future. Together, you can work on rebuilding confidence, self-belief, goals, aspirations, hope and wellbeing, while developing practical strategies around boundaries, decision-making, emotional management, relationships and conflict.

It’s about helping women move from “I’m not sure what happens now” to “I know where I want to go, and I can see a way forward.”

They offer flexible sessions in person, online or telephone, making the support accessible around busy working lives and professional responsibilities.  An initial consultation will take place to ensure the programme is suitable for individual needs.
